The result of rolling a fair die 150 times is as summarized in the table above. What is the probability of obtaining a 5?
3/10
1/5
1/6
1/10
Correct answer is B
Total possible outcome
12+18+x+30+2x+45 = 105+3x
∴105+3x = 150
3x = 150-105
3x = 45
x = 15
P(obtaining 5) = \(\frac{2x}{(105+3x)}But x= 15\\
=\frac{2(15)}{(105+3(15))}\\
=\frac{30}{(105+45)}\\
=\frac{30}{150}\\
=\frac{1}{5}\)
